title: [The patient-oriented discussion The application of medical psychologic knowledge to consultations (author's transl)].
abstract: Communication is of central significance in a relationship which is recognized as essential for efficient partnership contact between doctor and patient. Medical discussion for information of the patient is the preferred medium for this communication. The formation of the patient-doctor relationship, collection of data, enlightenment of the patient and advising the patient are its chief tasks. It is shown how these can be fulfilled by reference to three guidelines for medical behavior, - to make partnership possible, facilitate patient initiative and promote participation, cooperation and joint responsibility of the patient. Comments on the course of the patient-oriented discussion are made and their psychotherapeutic possibilities in the strict sense are enumerated.
